The command "mysqlbinlog" is used to process and analyze MySQL binary log files. Binary log files contain a record of changes made to a MySQL database, such as inserts, updates, and deletes.

In the given command, "mysqlbinlog --database ${database_name} ${path-to-binlog}", we are running the "mysqlbinlog" tool with some parameters:

"--database ${database_name}": This parameter specifies the name of the database we want to target. Replace "${database_name}" with the actual name of the database you want to target.
"${path-to-binlog}": This parameter specifies the path to the binary log file that we want to analyze. Replace "${path-to-binlog}" with the actual path to the binary log file.

By running this command, the "mysqlbinlog" tool will parse and display the content of the specified binary log file, showing the executed SQL statements and events. The output can be useful for understanding what changes were made to the database or for troubleshooting purposes.
